University Liggett School joins with local Independent Schools for networking event

On Thursday, February 29, 2024, more than 65 alumni from four Detroit-area Independent Schools including University Liggett School, Roeper, Detroit Country Day School and Cranbrook attended our first-ever Detroit Independent Schools Joint Alumni networking event at the Detroit Athletic Club. 

This inaugural gathering was geared toward medical professionals and we were lucky enough to hear a compelling panel discussion courtesy of Dr. Bob Rabbani '94 ULS, Dr. Latonya Riddle-Jones '97 Cranbrook, Dr. Adam Dorfman '90 Roeper and Dr. Sameer Bhagwan '06 DCDS. 

Led by moderator Dr. Herman Gray, Chair, Wayne State University Department of Pediatrics, this group of physicians spoke about their varied careers and how their independent school backgrounds gave them the foundation to flourish in the ever-evolving world of medicine. 

After the panel discussion concluded, alumni guests from the four schools stayed to mix, mingle and network with each other. It was a fantastic, collaborative evening and additional Detroit Independent School Alumni networking events will be planned next year.
